Folayemi Akande Poems

My sweetkins' tongue is garnish'd with bee false
That which she tells she doth vainfully swear
She's bred with false breath, yet I love her pulse
Could seek love abroad whilst she rots in fear.
...

Candle is the flare of love
Like luminescence from sun
That unveils dark secret mind
Sultry flames, balmy and warm
...

Tender are kids wondrous and small
Want them embraced, caress and all
Naive, obtuse to beckons of time
Nurture, bear, moments sour as lime
...

Shall I love not the sun, the core of my being?
Or love not the moon and star, laden path of light?
Will life be fresh as dew if grasses had not been?
Or red be love devoid my lover's delight?
...

The price of friendship-
Is costly and dare
A pound of flesh-
for a strand of hair
...

The price of friendship-
Is costly and dare
A pound of flesh-
for a strand of hair
...

Cupid's spirited bow rules us all
Love is a path that never we pall
Like'd spring marries the autumn/fall
So does love's lucid ever will tall.

Sonnet 10: Summer Friend

This time of May it was summer's day
Thou heist the ensile of the farmer's hay
...

I am as aged as the bank of the sea
The flush of my youth have withered and gone
Like flowers through the lacerate of summer
I was loving and kind with ecstacy
